Virtualbox error loading guest add-ons

I have Ubuntu Server installed in Virtualbox under a Windows 7 host, which I use as my main web developer setup. I just arrived on Monday morning, after the computer turned off the whole weekend to turn on my virtual machine to find this error:

VBoxService: error: VbglR3Init error with rc = VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I tried running sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-guest-utils , but just reproduced the error message. I tried unmounting and reinstalling the guest extra CD (not so that it makes any difference), and I am updating my vm server. I am still at a loss; Google searches do not pull anything relevant / recent. Has anyone encountered this recently?

thanks

I reinstalled virtualbox-guest-utils, rebooted the system, and it works again.

Good luck
